Can you believe it….

Matthew returned to school yesterday after his very bad dose of Chickenpox.

Andrew was complaining of feeling unwell with a fever….today he is covered in SPOTS.

Glad to say it looks like a case of chickenpox and not shingles.

Lets hope I avoid catching it 🙂

Blisters and Boots…

Off we went for a walk today, to try my new walking boots out again.

As they gave me a blister on my heel on our last walk.

We decided on a circular walk from Cambridge via Quy fen. blog 027

I was very upset when after about 6 miles my heel had another blister and was very painful.

Still I carried on and we managed a 15 mile walk avoiding any bad weather that had been forecast.

Walk route can be seen here.

Once home we decided to take my boots back to field and trek, to see if they could offer any advise.

As I wear men’s boots they say the problem was the heel of the boot just did not fit well on a female.

After explaining I always wore men’s boots and had no problem with my Asolo Flame boots.

which if you rememberI had returned due to a fault.

They had replaced these with the Asolo fugitive but obviously my feet did not like these boots.

Eventually they kindly agreed to exchange the Fugitive for a new pair of the

Asolo Flames.

So today really was my lucky day. 🙂

A moment of madness….

Down by the river.

A few glasses of wine.

Then splash…. in the river for a swim.

Not for long as I can tell you it was freezing cold.

I was numb when I got out, with only a coat and warmth from a BBQ to keep us warm.

More Muffin’s…

This time Lemon and Poppy seed, with a lemon glaze topping.

First time I used this recipe, they taste very nice but would like them to taste more lemony.

Maybe I should try this next time I make them.
